Summary	Maths in Science Ages ago, a curious Greek called Eratosthenes worked out the Earth s circumference only using geometry, and came really close! And Copernicus figured that the Sun, not Earth, was the centre of our solar system later on, the telescope proved him right! Discover the shapes that make things strong, the number system that led to computers, the metric revolution and much more. It's a whizz! IT'S A MATHEMATICAL WORLD shows exactly that: maths underlies everything around us on Earth and way out in space. The four books present familiar things and explain the maths behind them, perhaps a pattern, sequence or shape. Clear, simple text works with stunning photographs to make maths fun and approachable. There are activities to try, too!
